The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, or OFAC, has designated Sinaloa Cartel faction Los Mayos, along with the leader of the faction’s armed wing. These sanctions, announced on September 18, follow Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence John Hurley’s visit to the U.S.–Mexico border. “The Sinaloa Cartel is a foreign terrorist organization that continues to traffic narcotics, launder its proceeds, and corrupt local officials,” said Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence John Hurley. The Sinaloa Cartel is a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization that is responsible for a significant portion of illicit fentanyl trafficked to the United States that ultimately poisons Americans. In addition to trafficking deadly drugs, the Sinaloa Cartel has profited from smuggling migrants across the southern border.
